for newer cars i'd be more inclined to say that mid year is the best time to buy as you will get people selling cars to get a new one as a tax write off. round xmas time people are more concerned about buying presents, etc, so a lot of people won't bother too much about selling their car, however at the same time you might get a few people who are desperate to sell to pay for xmas presents, LOL.

Nice work, photos please!

Surely you've already put in an order for full exhaust, some injectors and a fuel pump plus tune for a nice easy 300 rwkw+?? They're a great platform.

The problem with the GT is that until Ford put a ridiculous amount of power into the thing, or shed a ridiculous amount of weight, and properly seperate it from the rest of the product range as a true flagship...it will never be a shadow of the original GT (or HO). 12.9, is nice, but compared to the rest of the FPV and HSV offerings, nothing really special. A flagship GT that would have EVERYONE talking would IMO be capable of a low to flat 12 from the showroom.

Although not the same far reaching heritage as the gt or gtho namesake; the hsv gts is now merely a clubby r8, not a real gts as previously the gts of the lineup had a different motor and early on different boxes (4 bolt main/grp a block, aussie stroker motor, hrt blueprint stroker, callaway built ls1)

Ford releasing a factory blown gt trumps hsv trying to pass off a fake gts so they can tell customers that their current ones are cheaper than previous gen ones..

Sorry.. Its something that really irks me for some reason, and ive previously owned a commo and a hsv, never a ford

I Bought the Auto, test drove the manual as well... thought the Auto gearbox was way better quality, no clunking sounds..

very general conversion is flywheel KW = rear wheel HP. a guy i know had a stock BA xr6t (one of the 240kw ones), it made 248rwhp (185kw). with the addition of a generic flashtune (minor tune to raise the boost, but the car was never put on the dyno, the tune was just a generic tune that the place he bought the flash tune off put on there before sending it out to him) and the boost raised to 9 and 11psi it made 300hp (224kw). not sure what boost setting that was on though.

yer 310 means at the fly

[Jpower]

Good choice.

Inline 6 turbo has a very nice note.
